quit application

[treasure]

Hello,

I have to open the another application (exe) when i start the LVprogram. To open the application, i used the "system execution.vi".When i  stop the LVprogram, i want to close the another application. I don't know how to close this one. Can somebody help?Thanks in advance

Hi treasure,

is it a special program? If yes, maybe there is an API you can use. If not, then you can get the handle for this program and send a close commad to it.

hello,

I guess you can just check the VI properties of the your other application and set the window appearance to custom - open and close..

best regards,

Hello Treasure,

 

I utilize Datasocket to communicate  between two LV program Main.exe (user interface) and Control.exe.  In addition with Control.exe I utilize a third party program.  When the user chooses Quit (in Main.exe), the main program wrote true in the Datasocket variable "CloseControl".  Control.exe reads this variable at each second and when CloseControl = true he kills the third party program (and close).

I utilize Kill only when it is not possible to use the command line argument in the the system exec VIs.
